An unusual complication of uterine prolapse. Bilateral severe hydronephrosis.
Obstructive uropathy with bilateral hydronephrosis may be seen in uterine procidentia cases. Early recognition and treatment can prevent irreversible renal damage. Although this association has been known for a long time, it is clinically under evaluated most of the time. Here, we present a neglected case of total uterine procidentia in a 64-year-old woman who was detected also to have renal dysfunction. After surgical correction of procidentia, renal function tests returned to normal.
